Rival Rival Stoneware Slow Cooker Review

I am not quite sure how my family would get a home cooked dinner if I didn't have my Rival Stoneware Slow Cooker. I have upgraded from the small version to a larger version with a timer and "auto shut-off/warming" feature. I find this feature very handy when I am running errands or have a busy day planned and want to prepare dinner in the cooker in the morning before I leave. When I was working full time I would often put together a dinner in the slow-cooker the night before and then just keep the stoneware part in the fridge overnight. In the morning I would put it in the cooker section, turn it on and be on my way with dinner waiting when I returned from work. I often prepare large roasts, meatballs, pork chops and various other dishes in this slow cooker. For large groups I will usually put a homemade BBQ sauce together, pour it over a large pork roast and let it go for most of the day. When guests arrive the house smells yummy and everyone can dig in...works great for big crowds.
